A r?pida expans?o de BYOD e as quest?es de seguran?a e privacidade de dados representam desafios significativos para as organiza??es. A resposta mais comum a essas preocupa??es ? a ado??o de pol?ticas corporativas que regem BYOD. Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a inten??o dos funcion?rios em cumprir com a pol?tica de seguran?a da organiza??o no contexto de BYOD, quando os funcion?rios utilizam seus dispositivos pessoais para acessar recursos organizacionais para realizarem o trabalho, dentro ou fora do ambiente organizacional. Para tanto, foi utilizada a Teoria de Motiva??o a Prote??o (TMP) como embasamento te?rico. Em termos metodol?gicos, a presente pesquisa, ? do tipo descritiva e tamb?m explorat?ria com uma abordagem quantitativa. N?o aleat?ria ? o tipo de amostragem. Para coleta, foi aplicado um question?rio estruturado, tipo survey, com um conjunto de itens de medi??o para cada construto. A etapa de an?lise dos dados foi realizada por meio de utiliza??o de t?cnicas de estat?stica descritiva e an?lise multivariada, tais como a An?lise Fatorial Explorat?ria (AFE) e a Regress?o Linear M?ltipla (RLM). Do ponto de vista te?rico, os resultados demonstram que o modelo PMT fornece uma base te?rica s?lida para a investiga??o nesta ?rea. No entanto, os resultados tamb?m indicam que este modelo ? afetado por fatores contextuais, e que a escolha da amostra pode influenciar a import?ncia dos diferentes componentes do modelo. Portanto, o cuidado deve ser tomado na generaliza??o desses resultados para outros contextos e popula??es / The advancement of mobile technology, with regard to the availability of 3G / 4G and use of devices such as Smartphones and Tablets yielded a new communication phenomenon: BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), is a new business trend, where employees are using their own devices for work purposes. The rapid expansion of BYOD , data security and privacy issues pose significant challenges for organizations. The most common response to these concerns is the adoption of corporate policies governing BYOD. This study aims to analyze the intention of employees to comply with the organization's security policy in the context of BYOD, when employees use their personal devices to access organizational resources to develop work related tasks, inside or outside the organizational environment. Therefore, we will use the Motivation Theory Protection as theoretical basis. In terms of methodology, this research will be a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach. Nonrandom will be the type of sampling. For collection, a structured questionnaire, survey type, with a set of measurement items for each construct is applied. The data analysis step is performed by means of descriptive statistics, Exploratory Factor Analysis and Multiple Linear Regression. From a theoretical point of view, the results demonstrate that the PMT model provides a solid theoretical basis for research in this area. However, the results also suggest that this model is affected by contextual factors, and the selection of the sample may influence the importance of the different components of the model. Therefore, caution should be taken in generalizing these results to other settings and populations.

At public high schools in Cayman, teachers need to improve their productivity and efficiency by using technologies that are simple and portable like their personal devices. Studies about bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives have revealed conflicting outcomes, and are lacking in the Caribbean and especially in Cayman. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the main factors related to teachers' willingness to adopt BYOD in public high schools in Cayman. The theoretical framework was the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). This study employed a cross-sectional survey design using a modified UTAUT instrument, which captured quantitative data from 82 participants. The use of hierarchical multiple regression to analyze the data revealed that teachers' BYOD adoption could expand by increasing facilitating conditions, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and decreasing perceived risk. This study reduces the gap in the literature about the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and BYOD in the Caribbean and the Cayman Islands. It also provides evidence that perceived risk can increase its explanatory power of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The study also contributes to a positive social change by revealing critical issues that administrators should address when devising BYOD policies and planning educational technology integration.
